Republican Senator John McCain discusses the cost overruns on the F-35:
“The F-35, the next generation fighter (jet), I mean it is a disgrace…It is an absolute disgrace, the cost overruns. …It’s been now something like 18 months behind schedule and already double the original cost.

On the day Auditor General Sheila Fraser was scheduled to release her reports on G8/G20 summit spending and the G8 Legacy Fund, Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff called on Stephen Harper to release her findings to Canadians.“The Canadian people deserve to know what’s in Sheila Fraser’s G8/G20 reports – and they have a right to know it before going to the polls on May 2,” said Mr. Ignatieff.

It is simply not believable that Mr. Harper would hire someone as his Acting Chief of Staff, his senior advisor, without knowing the details of this check.
